Disadvantaged youths trained for hotel work

Over 30 young people from underprivileged backgrounds began
free-of-charge six-month on-site training at five-star hotels in Hanoi
on August 23.

The Youth Career Initiative, financed by REACH
centre and participating hotels including Inter-Continental West
Lake and Hanoi Opera, will see the young group aged 18-25 work under
senior hotel staff.

The trainees are selected by REACH on the
basis of a strong motivation for self-development but with limited or no
means to find legitimate employment or to continue their education,
either due to poverty or social exclusion.-VNA
